Skin

I began this project by examining my own skin. I want to look at how knit can be used to replicate the skin's surface.

I have taken some photographs of my foot, arm and hand. I am interested in the variation of tone and surface. I have also used photoshop to literally stretch a portion of my own skin. I will use this images as colour studies as well as inspiration for my knits.

I feel as though the colour pallet is going to be really key for this project. I want to utilise yarn correctly to enhance a skin like surface. Next I want to experiment with machine and hand knit using these images as a starting point.
